Dragonwilds:Alric's Plan (Part 2)

File:Alric's Plan (Part 2) Location.png

This Journal is found in a small out tower of the Dragonwilds:Library on the third floor, past the first set of fire traps, it is on a behnc next to a Dragonwilds:Chest.

The following text is transcribed from the Journal.

If I were to weigh Rasmodel, he would have one ounce of value. That ounce is his leadership, or, more specifically, what I have learned from it.

He has taught me that when you make a mistake, you do not run from it. Instead, you claim it was your intention all along. If a scouting party is killed, they were traitors that you sent on a suicide mission. If the sewers flood and illness spreads, you were building the troops' immunity. Admit nothing, own everything.

My infernal gateway is no longer a gateway. The tens of thousands of demon souls are no longer powering it. It seems that they have been quietly bleeding into the fortress itself. Each brick now whispers with the avernic. They are in the walls. Demons now summon themselves, at their own whims, from any room.

I do not run from this. It was my intention. I claim it.

This is what I tell my magi: there is no corner of Dowdun Reach that is safe from us now. If you connive against us magi, a demon may be listening. If you walk without a partner, an avernic may digest you. This is the rule of the keep now.

All that remains is to find the voice beneath the voices. I know it is there - I can hear it. Once it is identified, I will claim it, too.
